Abstract:
The skin of newborns is classified as sensitive, with a higher risk of skin barrier disruption and irritation of a diapered area. Despite dermatologist recommendations to use only water and a cloth for cleaning, most of the population still relies on the comforts of modern parenting, which includes intensive daily usage of baby wet wipes. Novel baby formulations are designed following the concept of infant skin health, containing a gentle cleanser, suitable emollient, and buffer system enabling a slightly acidic pH value and they are free of ethyl alcohol. Thus, it is important to understand the chemical background of such a complex liquid formulation, with emphasis on its safety. In line with this, the present paper discusses the scientific background of various chemical compounds found in baby wipe formulations to improve the understanding of wet wipe designs and direct them toward more skin-friendly solutions.
摘要:
新生儿的皮肤被归类为敏感的,皮肤屏障破坏和尿布区域刺激的风险更高。尽管皮肤科医生建议只使用水和布进行清洁,大多数人口仍然依赖现代育儿的舒适,其中包括每天密集使用的婴儿湿巾。新型婴儿配方设计遵循婴儿皮肤健康的理念,含有温和的洁面乳,合适的润肤剂,和缓冲系统,使一个微酸性的pH值,他们是不含乙醇。因此,重要的是要了解这种复杂的液体制剂的化学背景,强调其安全性。与此相符,本文讨论了在婴儿擦拭配方中发现的各种化学化合物的科学背景,以提高对湿巾设计的理解,并将其引向更皮肤友好的解决方案。
